This activity tests your ability to read, understand and follow written instructions.
The instructions you are to follow are on this sheet, the accompanying Form 1040EZ, and
its instruction booklet.

Form 1040EZ is a Federal income tax form designed for Americans with at least a middle
school education. Therefore each of you should be able to complete this assignment without
too much difficulty, if you are able to focus carefully on it.

Complete all applicable information on the Form 1040EZ starting with the address label
box (use your current home address), and ending with the signature block at the bottom of
the form. Be sure to sign and date your return in the spaces provided in this block. Your
occupation is Student. Please be sure to write or print neatly and legibly. You must use
the dummy Social Security number that appears on the W2 form. DO
NOT use your own social security number.

Follow all instructions on the sheet (including those on its back). Where requested,
use the information contained on the W2 form. Additionally, you
need to know that, for purposes of this activity, your taxable interest income is 1% of
your wages, tips and other compensation shown in box 1. Calculate that number, then write
it when you get to the line that asks you to enter taxable interest income.

Since we are assuming that you are a student who can be claimed as a
dependent by your parents, be sure to
check the box for You on line 5. Remember that we are also assuming that you are single.
